My lights are coming on while it sits in the garage. And my interior LED lights on a separate switch barely come on. If I hit the switch on and off it will turn one set of lights off but they don't turn completely off. They are wired on 2 separate switches to a common positive/negative bus bar, on a separate battery. Did I really have 2switches fry at the same time while sitting in the garage??

You have something feeding backwards through a circuit or missing a ground. I would suggest checking your wiring.

like Obanacreek said You have back feed, ground wires don't go thru switches unless you are grounding a lighted switch or you are using the switch to complete a ground to a circuit,,,

I had the same problem when I hooked up my new fuse panel last weekend. The new fuse panel had LED's on it to light up when a fuse is blown. However, power flows backward through a diode and a small current was lighting up my driving lights, so I cut the internal wires going to the LED's. Problem solved!
